Vandaag wint mijn schaakteam de Spassky’s met 7-1 in en tegen s.c. Sneek. De wedstrijd begon met 1 minuut stilte vanwege het overlijden vorige week van Onze Inspirator en Naamgever Boris Spassky. De Koning is dood, leve de Spassky’s!

El ajedrecista ruso dominó mundialmente entre 1969 y 1972, hasta el emblématico enfrentamiento contra el americano en pleno contexto de la Guerra Fría. Es una gran pérdida para el país , señaló el presidente de la Federación Rusa de Ajedrez.
